​

Common Issues with Alutech Bifold Doors

 

Even premium Alutech doors can experience problems. Some arise from regular use, while others result from poor installation, leading to long-term operational challenges.

​

Common issues include:

​

• Dropped or Sagging Panels – Misaligned tracks or worn rollers can cause panels to sag, particularly if installation left them off-level.

• Stiff or Sticky Operation – Debris, roller wear, or environmental changes can hinder smooth operation.

• Worn Rollers or Wheels – Leads to uneven folding or dragging panels.

• Hinge & Pivot Problems – Misalignment from installation or building settlement creates jerky movement and stress on hardware.

• Track Misalignment – Non-level tracks cause rubbing, dragging, or uneven folding.

• Locking Mechanism Issues – Misaligned multi-point locks may fail to engage correctly.

​

Toe and Heel Misalignment

 

A long-term issue often caused by installation is toe and heel misalignment, where the top (toe) and bottom (heel) of a panel are not perfectly level within the frame.

​

Signs:

​

• Panels appear tilted when folded or closed

• One side drags while operating

• Extra stress on rollers, hinges, and locks

​

Causes:

​

• Panels not leveled at installation

• Frames not squared correctly

• Building settling over time

​

How Pro-Lock Corrects Toe and Heel Misalignment:

​

• Realigning panels at both toe and heel points for smooth, even operation

• Adjusting hinges, pivots, and rollers to distribute weight correctly

• Correcting track alignment

• Providing maintenance advice to prevent recurrence

​

By addressing both normal wear and installation-related issues, Pro-Lock restores Alutech doors to smooth, secure, and reliable operation.
